Berlin Airport

How you pay

Pay by paper ticket, app ticket, cash or contactless.

Terminals

Both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 - the shared rail station Flughafen BER sits directly beneath Terminal 1 at level U2; Terminal 2 is reached from the station via a short walkway.

Worth knowing

FEX charges the standard VBB zone tariff - there is no airport-express premium/supplement fare (unlike, for example, London's Heathrow Express or Edinburgh's Airport Zone tram fare). A plain Berlin AB ticket or season pass does not cover BER - either a full Berlin ABC ticket or an AB ticket plus the Anschlussfahrschein zone-C extension is required.

Serves this terminal directly. Board at Flughafen BER station, level U2.

How you pay

Pay by paper ticket, app ticket, cash or contactless.

Terminals

Both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 via the single shared rail station beneath Terminal 1 (level U2) - same station as FEX and the RE/RB regional lines.

Worth knowing

Standard VBB zone tariff, identical mechanic and identical prices to the FEX service (Berlin ABC single €5.00/€3.50 reduced; Anschlussfahrschein Berlin C €2.40/€1.80 reduced) - S-Bahn carries no separate or premium fare versus FEX or the regional trains.

Terminals

Terminal 1 (rail station beneath)

Journey

How you pay

Pay by paper ticket, app ticket or contactless.

Terminals

Terminal 1 (bus stop A3).

Worth knowing

Same standard VBB zone tariff as the rail connectors - X7/X71 carry NO airport-bus premium. Flughafen BER (Berlin tariff zone sub-area C)), so the same zone-C/Anschlussfahrschein trap applies to bus travellers exactly as it does to rail travellers - a plain Berlin AB ticket bought for the rest of a Berlin trip does not cover the Rudow-BER hop.

How you get one

Take one from the taxi rank, book it by phone or in the app or hail one in the street. The pickup point is below.

Where to get one

Two taxi ranks, North and South, on the arrivals level (E0) directly in front of Terminal 1; Only board taxis marked as such at these designated ranks - the airport warns that outside these areas there is a risk of encountering fraudulent operators.

Terminals

Terminal 1 only has its own taxi ranks; Terminal 2 has no dedicated rank (Das Terminal 2 verfügt über keine eigene Vorfahrt) and passengers follow signposted walkways to T1's ranks.

Worth knowing

A dedicated cross-border BER tariff applies to ALL taxis picking up at BER, whether based in Berlin or Brandenburg's Dahme-Spreewald district, so the per-km rate is identical regardless of the taxi's home base; a separate surcharge applies to all BER-originating trips to cover the airport's mandatory taxi-holding-area fee.
